year of car the sensor is being fitted to and the year of car the sensor came off will help us give you the correct info, also are you planning to have the car mapped to accommodate the sensor or just fit it and leave as is?

If it's a Subaru part Lee, it'll have a part number on it. Tell us what that is (should be a 10 digit alphanumeric code) and we can work out what model year it's from, and from that give you the pinout, maybe even a calibration curve, if you need one.

that's the early 92/96 map sensor, as stated earlier in the thread you need to tell us the year of your car so we can give accurate information, without these minor details we cant really help you.

ok lets start again, what year of suabru is the engine out of? if you dont know the anser what ecu are you running, if its standard tell me the large numbers off of the top of the ecu case, the reason i am asking is if you fit the wrong MAP sensor to wrong ecu and try to run any boost it will **** your engine up.

right this does help although the map sensor you have is not the best one and will only allow you to run at approx 1.2 bar, this is the wiring to the map sensor that you have at the moment,

MY92-96 MAP sensor Wiring
=========================

Red = +12V
White = Sensor
Green = Gnd


hope this helps.
